Family of Samuel Kennerly (Kenly) and Elizabeth
|
|
|
The following information was taken from DR Kennerly's "The First Kennerly Families in NC."
Samuel Kennerly
died by 16 Jul 1804, Cabarrus County, North Carolina
married
Elizabeth
subsequently married Henry Miller 4 Jun 1807.
Children
1. Charles
b c1784, 1st md 8 Nov 1800, Cabarrus Co to Ann Albright, who d by 1830, with Saml Kennerly, bondsman; his subsequent marriage is suggested by census data, no definite info.
2. William
(16 Jan 1795-21 Apr 1871) md 18 Jun 1816 to Mary A Correll (7 Sep 1795-10 Jul 1881), both bur Prospect Presbyterian Church, Mooresville, Iredell Co; 1880 Iredell Census shows her parents both b PA; William served an indenture with Robert Alexander, blacksmith, from 22 July 1806, and was to get a horse worth £50 upon completion; that date is not evident in the Cabarrus County court minutes.
3. George
b c1788; two potential Cabarrus County Marriages: 1st 9 Jun 1821 to Sarah Penninger; 2nd 9 Oct 1823 to Elizabeth Johnson, b c1800; David Kennerley has seen both marriage bonds in facsimile, which shows the two Georges to use a similar cross-type mark. The absence of early estate records in Cabarrus County due to fire may account for lack of notice of George’s death. In the Cabarrus County census of 1850, Elizabeth “Kenley” 50 and John Penninger 13 are living with Joseph Misenhimer, 51 and family; this connection is not a “lock”, but we have not otherwise found a fit for Elizabeth Kenley. It is possible that Pinkney Alexander Kennerly was a son of George and spouse, as he was born about 1823, and was bound out—he became a shoe and boot maker as an adult—in 1839. Perhaps the death of George triggered Pink’s apprenticeship; certainly, he would have been old enough by then (age 16) to be trainable.
4. John
b 1797; he served an indenture with Jediah Wallace, 22 Apr 1811-21 Apr 1817, then evidently accompanied William to Iredell County; in 1830, he was 30-40 with two females 20-30; children were boy u5, 2 girls 5-10, and 1 u5, suggesting a marriage date of c1820. In 1840, Iredell, John had male child u5; females (spouse) 30-40; 20-30; 2 15-20, 10-15, 5-10, u5. John evidently left the area before 1850; may have left a son John who was on 1840 Cabarrus Census with presumed spouse, each 20-30 and girl under 5; a J B Kennerly is in Rowan Mills PO, 1860 census, age 40 with William 16 and Margaret 22. J B was a day laborer, hence not tied to land; the 3 were living with Jerry Barrenger 51, Claressa 36, John 23 and W Smith 34 male. A 13 Mar 1843 Rowan marriage bond for John P. Kenely and Margaret Corell, with James Scott, bondsman, may involve some of these persons.
5. Eliza
b 1797; she was also bound to Jediah Wallace, Apr 1812, age 14 ½; there is a 20 Jul 1813 Cabarrus County Inferior Court entry, requiring that Benjamin Plunkett pay child support to Elizabeth Kimley, giving his sureties, etc. There were no further entries noted regarding an Elizabeth Kenly.
6. Ann
b c1801; bound Jul 1814 to Carson Rogers, Cabarrus, nothing further.
7. James
b c1803, bound in Cabarrus court Oct 1814, perhaps it’s he that md 6 Nov 1820, Cabarrus Co to Margaret Smith, with Thomas Cooper, bondsman; a “James Kenley” with a white poll is on Capt. Abner Hunter’s Company, 1824 Mecklenburg County Tax List.
